Microphone automatically turns itself off

Hi, I'm currently trying to use a language program with the aid of a headset for the speech recognition. I have tried two different headsets in the headset port, as well as trying to use the internal mic.In order to get them to work i'm having to manually un-mute and turn up the volume. Every few seconds ( or occasionally i get almost a minute out of it) it mutes itself and puts the volume back down. I've checked and the drivers are up to date, i don't know whats going on?I also currently have an intermittent beep sound every so often, even when all apps closed, lid shut etc. Could these be related issues? Thanks Lauren.

Lauren, Not sure what the problem is, however, this problem hopefully will be solved with Win 10. This audio problem has been going on for years with no end in site! Ham123 ps: good luck with your audio

  • Has anyone with sprint have time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turning itself off?

    has anyone with sprint had time/date issues as well as imessage function automatically turn itself off?

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

  • N97 Mini: Automatically turns itself off or freeze...

    It's about a month and a half old. The sim card is new and overall the phone works great. It's just that when I'm listening to music it would turn itself off for no reason at all. 
    What is Ph. setup? Because that app runs whenever my phone acts up.
    Thanks guys!

  • Wi-fi automatically turns itself off

    No idea why it started happening but my iPhone has taken to turning wifi off of its own accord.
    Connect to the network, put VPN password in and then go back only to see Wifi -> Off.
    WHYYYYYY?? It's really annoying me because everything is set to automatically connect, etc and it just keeps glitching itself off.
    Anyone able to help?

    Count me in...
    My phone suddenly started disconnecting itself from wifi.. only if I held very close to the antenna, it shows a wifi signal but as soon as i move away from it, the signal drops.
    We have two other iphones in the house with the same OS versions (latest, 3G models) and they work fine.
    I have done all the reset procedures described in various threads, plus a full restore but nothing helped so far.

  • After I update my Ipad to OS 5.1.1 it automatically turns itself on ana off, what is happening?

    After I updated my iPad to 5.1.1, it is experiencing what of the most annoying problems: it automatically turns itself off and on when I am in the middle of something. Seomtimes it attempts tp restart itself though I am not touching any button. I just got this iPad brand 1st qurter of this year 2012. I have tried restoring it bu it seems that the problem cant be resolved? Is it because of the new OS version? My iPad was never dropped or nothing happened anything like that...please help..
    Thank you.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Set date and time automatically keeping turning itself off?

    Every time I go to the App Store I get a pop-up stating that it can't connect and that this may be caused by an incorrect date and time setting.  I go to Settings and discover that "Set Automatically" has somehow turned itself off.  I can turn it back on and then access the App Store.  Until the next time.  When the whole problem starts over.  Why won't it stay on Set Automatically?  Thanks.

    Try this first. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, you can reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. That will turn all of the settings back to factory defaults and you will have to enter them again. You will not lose any data.
    You can also try restoring from a backup - if you have a recent backup. The backup contains the device settings and that just might work. It worked for me when I was experiencing the very same problem that you are having.

  • My iPod touch turns itself off automatically

    I got my iPod touch 2G 16GB this Monday and it reacts strangely when it plays music or video using the speaker, it turns itself off automatically. Is it because of the low battery? Or anything else?

    it might be because of the battery, or it could just be that it is putting itself in "sleep" mode, if that is what has happened it will "wake" when you push the hold or the home button. but im not sure this is just a guess. what happens when you push one of the buttons after it has shut down? does it continue to play the music once it has turned off?

  • PowerBook G4 turns itself off automatically

    I found a PowerBook G4 in my closet, so I turned it on and was using it just fine, and then without warning it turned itself off. When I boot it up I can hear an internal fan running, and it keeps running the entire time the computer is turned on. I'm not sure which OS it's running. Do I need to replace the fan, or is it something worse?

    I had the same problem with my MacBook Pro. What I found out is that your battery needs to be charged above 20%. Plug your computer in, let it charge for half and hour, and try turning it on again.

  • My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music)

    My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music). As soon as I slide my ipod into opening the volume goes all the way down. Even if it's already completely off, the audio icon comes on the screen, which tells me the ipod is still trying to lower the volume. As I said, I don't even have to be listening to music. I can be on the opening screen. When I turn the volume back up, it immediatley turns it back down. It only doesn't go down if I physically hold my finger to volume bar on the touch screen.
    And yes, I've updated all my software (on my ipod and laptop). I've also entirely reset my ipod twice.
    Tell me, is it time to ditch the ipod and find some other sort of mp3 player (this is one problem at the end of a long list of less debilitating but equally annoying issues I've had with my 2 ipod touches)

    Yeah, I probably mean restore. Multiple times though!
    Also, I forgot to mention that this issue persists regardless of whether or not my headphones are plugged in.

  • IPhone won't stop trying to turn itself off

    My iPhone has been acting very strange recently. Try's to turn itself off randomly, well fade in and out real fast so I don't go on it for the time being. And if I touch my lock button once it will automatically try to turn itself off again. How do I get rid of this

    1. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    2. Restore using iTunes, also restoring a backup
    3. Restore as new, without using a backup
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    4. If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • How come iMessage turns itself off?

    Last night in the middle of a texting conversation iMessage turned itself off and switched to SMS. I had to manually go into settings and turn iMessage back on. I understand that if iMessage is not available, it will switch to SMS, but it usually switches back automatically. Does anyone know why this happened?
    Thanks, Anton

    Hello there anton9943,
    As I understand it, you were using Messages to send iMessages to another party, and suddenly the iMessage feature turned itself off, necessitating that you turn it back on in Settings. From what you describe, I would start by signing out of iMessage and FaceTime in Settings:
    If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
    Then quit all the running apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device, sign back in to both services and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Satellite A60-157 - turns itself off!

    I bought this in january and it's caused me nothing but trouble. the Touchpad no longer works so i have to use a usb mouse, but thats not what the problam is!
    Everytime i try to burn a dvd it turns itself off!!
    It has a pentium 4 processer, 448mb of ram and a 80gig hard drive.
    If anyone can help me fix this problam i have when burning i'd be very very happy,
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello
    If the touchpad doesnt works you should reinstall the necessary driver. Please check the website for some new updates. Furthermore if your notebook turns off without any reason it could be an overheating issue. In this case you should give the unit to the service partner. If the warrant still valid utilize it.
    On the other side it could be a burning software problem. Well you ca try to disable the option Automatically restart in Startup and Recovery.
    This you can find in System->Advanced->Startup and Recovery
    You can also recover you OS wit the recovery CD.
    Bye

  • My iPhone 4 is turning itself off after 40% battery life is surpassed.

    Although I still have about 40% charge on the battery, the iPhone just turns itself off, like it has no battery life at all but when i plug it into the charger, it starts up again automatically and shows that I still have about 40-45% battery life available.  What is going on?  How do I try to recalibrate it if I can never get it to 0% battery life?  Please help.

    Same case here, but mine is Iphone 3GS having 40-50% battery then a little moment boom, it shut itself off. How to fix this someone help.

    My iphone keeps crashing and turning itself off.....even though battery life is fine...as soon as i plug charger in it comes bcak on....help very frustrating...3g

    absolutely that is frustrating. if the battery life is fine there could be two things software or hardware. to find out if your back up your information in itunes and import pictures and then restore the phone as NEW then you can test it out. if it is still shutting off it is hardware related
